The Steam page went up on September 12, 2026. It passed 170,000 wishlists a week later. By September 26 it had passed 500,000, a number sgthale announced that day.
The game puts the player in a house with multiplying daughters and a wolf kemono wife. Feed the daughters and house them, send them out to help with work, and keep up with their care; neglect them and the wife kills you. Development footage posted in various places draws roughly 1 million to 2 million views per clip on YouTube, including a wife intimidating others for her daughters' sake and pigs and wild boars added as food.
Family Time supports Japanese and is scheduled for release on Steam. A development build is distributed to supporters on Patreon. sgthale previously developed the AI-driven robot interaction simulation MyRobot.
